Lettebs Patent N0. 73,125, dated January 7, 1868.

IMPROVEMENT IN GHURNS.

.TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONOERN:

Be in known that I, OONRAD SCHIFFERLY, of Bourbqn in the county of Marshall, and State of Indiami, have invented a. new and useful Improvement in Chul'nS; und I do hereby cleclare the following 120 be a fill1, clear, and exa.ct description of the construction a.nd operation of' tl1e same, reference beirig had to the annexed 'drawings.

Figure 1 represents a. perspective vlew of the dasher. Figure 2 is a. longitudinal vertical centra.l section of a churn, with the dasher.

'lhis invention consists of a. saucer-shaped disk, rigidly h.ttached t;o the (lasl1el' of an up-and-down churn,

in such mapner a.s to Prevent the escape of cream thxough tlie orifice in the cover, a.s will hereinafter be more fully. described.

T0 enable others skilled in the arts to make a.hd use my invention, I will proceed to describe it s construction a.nd operation.

a represents an ordinary churn, cf which b is the dasher. That: part; 6f the dasher which comqs in cdutact; with the cover c dliring its up-and-down n'1otion, is shea.thed with sheet: metal, d. T0 the lower purt ofsai(l sheathing a.nd within the churn, is attached the saucer-shuped disk'e, wil:h its concavity down ward. The lowcr side of the cover e is hollowed out to such an extent that tl e saucer-shaped disk, when brought in contacttherewith, fits accurately, and tlxus prevents the escape through tlxe cover of :my eream that: may be thrown up by the dasher during the process o1" churning. The disk also produc6s the sa.me efl'ect when 'r 1ot. in dontact with the cover, as during its descent with the cover it: catches ahy small masses of cream th :lt may be flying upwaml from the central part; of the churn. 4

These familiar with the operation of churning, know how considerable is the quantity of creaui that ordinarily escapes from an upright churn of th e kind herein referrecl to, und l1ow gxeat is the nuisance resulting therefrom. This waste and annoyance a.re prevented by the use of this simple invention.

Ha.ving tlms described my invention, Wha.t I claim a.s new, and desire {so secure by Letters Patent'is- In combination with the dasher b, the saucer-shaped disk e, a.s'and for tl1e purpose descrfbed.
